Seems the bad CPU optimisation isn't an issue with Witcher 3 though, utilisation is quite low. According to AMD's VP, sometime this week, I guess?

Unfortunately, they also seem to be the brands that go on sale the most. Next card's likely to be a 980ti, I think.

Do the FE Super cards not support voltage control? The slider's grayed out in MSI Afterburner, even with the appropriate settings ticked.

VelociBacon posted:So I had this issue with my 2080ti (EVGA) until the most recent build of MSI Afterburner. Basically if it's not an MSI card you have to go into the settings and enable third party voltage control or something like that. I apologize if that's what you meant by appropriate settings ticked. It's possible that the super cards are new enough that they need to patch that into afterburner. Yeah, still grayed out when set to third party. I updated to the beta version as well, but no dice. Thanks for the tip, though; guess I'll wait it out until they update it again.

Probably won't be as janky this go-around but it's possible there will be some issues at launch, just like anything else. That's... good? Frankly, I'm still on the fence between this and a 3080. Call me old-fashioned, but RT doesn't matter as much to me as decent anti-aliasing and high FPS.

Llamadeus posted:DLSS also happens to the best available anti-aliasing solution I actually tried DLSS recently in Control and... I mean, I could tell I was looking at a upscaled image. FPS savings (at least on a 2070S) weren't especially great, either. May just be that specific implementation, though. Best form of AA in my book is TAA with internal render resolution ticked up by 20-ish percent.

I also did my order through Paypal, but none of my poo poo was logged-in. Felt like it took forever, and I was pretty much convinced this would go like the Zen 3 launch last week where it'd spit me back out to an empty cart with no order after checkout. But it all worked out somehow; I went back after the fact and noticed that the specific bundle I picked up never actually appeared on StockDrops (at least not on their Twitter, I stopped following their Discord). I wonder if that might have saved me in this instance.

Something I probably should have asked a while back: Is it normal to be seeing stability issues - like, random hard reboots - with a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC on a 700w PSU (combo-ed with a 5900x and 3600mhz 32GB RAM)? I think it's specifically the factory overclock (because there's no other OC going) that's causing issues, because all's fine when the AORUS ENGINE utility is not running. And oddly enough, it's only doing this when the card is idle, not when there's a game or other GPU-intensive app running. Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Dec 5, 2020 |

Xaris posted:no. If it was GPU instability I believe you would probably see some BSODs of various forms. That sounds more like a DRAM stability problem. Have you tried turning off XMP in the bios (if you're using it) I do have XMP on, but it was doing this at 2666mhz as well. Plus Event Viewer is showing GPU-related error codes (278 specifically) at time of shutdown.

Space Racist posted:Welp, still had hard reboots after reverting to stock CPU voltage, and also after disabling XMP just to check that as well. Make sure you have separate PSU cables going to the power connectors. Also, try updating your motherboard BIOS.

Man, getting one of those Newegg bundles and also miraculously managing to refund the other half of it before they started refusing them seems like one hell of a stroke of luck now. I say "seems" because I got one of those Gigabyte 3080s with the semi-busted connectors. Sure, I managed to bend the pins back into place, and it's been totally fine so far, but well... I'm still glad for the 3-year warranty.

acksplode posted:So I nabbed a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC back in October for an all-new build, and I've had persistent issues with my PC frequently and randomly rebooting while playing games. I swapped out the power supply and memory to no effect, and then the reboots stopped entirely once I used MSI Afterburner to underclock by 150 MHz. I take this to mean that the GPU is defective and it's failing when the clock rate boosts past some point that it should be able to handle but can't. Does that sound right? Is this enough info for an open-and-shut support case, or is there anything else I can do to prove that Gigabyte needs to give me a new 3080? I have the same card and had a similar problem back around the time I installed it, but ended up figuring out it was actually a RAM issue that required a BIOS update. No issues with it since then.

Okay, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

And of course, updating the motherboard BIOS did the trick. I don't know why it should have, the mobo already had support for Resizable BAR and the update notes mentioned nothing about it, but it did.

Here's the SFF build (5900x/3080) I've been tooling around with since November: It's been a mixed experience, all told. I got one of those Gigabyte 3080s with the borked power pins, though I also got lucky in the sense that it was just one pin that I was able to bend back into place long enough to get the PSU connector on. Makes me dread taking the card out, though. Also my eyes keep telling me there's card sag, yet every time I actually force my head down there, it appears to be completely level. edit: also it's hot as gently caress in regards to the CPU and GPU memory, no matter how much I mess around with the cooling Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Apr 21, 2021 |

mA posted:I'd say just leave the card in place unless it's absolutely necessary to remove it. I have a Gigabyte 3090 and I'm praying to god that I won't need to deal with Gigabyte's RMA department in the future given the dozens of horror stories there seem to be out there. The card I have is great, but it's an extra concern I have that I didn't have with my EVGA card. I had a feeling that customer service was screwy when I couldn't actually register my card through the US website and had to go on their international(?) one instead. The card itself has been fine (aside from the high memory temps); I was even able to get BAR working on it. Still, I'm thankful to have a 1080 as backup in case poo poo goes bad.
